american people and showed a lack of knowledge and sophistication, she shouldn't hold that. the entire administration is wrong and this is the american people, and the world, and she was as spokeswoman, our representative to the world and explaining what happened and virtually everything she said was wrong. >> kelly: with that, we welcome you to a brand new hour of america's election headquarters, i'm kelly wright. >> i'm jamie colby, an interesting new twist to the whole story, congressman king joins a growing list of lawmakers, why ambassador rice initially declared the benghazi attack, a reaction to a protests in cairo over an anti-islam film before acknowledging it was a coordinated attack. and christopher stevens and three other americans were killed in the september 11th attack in benghazi and molly henneberg is following the story live in washington what

happens next. >> she has her supporters including the president saying she's done extraordinary work at the united nations and providing the best knowledge that the administration had at the time. and john kerry, democratic chairman of the foreign relations committee says she's a quote enormously capable person, but republican congressman peter king is it not convinced. he wants to know why five days after the attack that killed ambassador chris stevens and three others, ambassador rice stated publicly on several talk shows it was a spontaneous attack that grew out of an anti-muslim video when there was evidence it was a coordinated terror attack. >> ambassador rice should resign and we should investigate how high up this went and if the administration would voluntarily come forward and why they gave out this false information when they

had to know there was so much else out there and yet, they wanted to rule out terrorism from the start. >> sources tell fox news that intelligence officials knew within one day of the attack, that was likely tied to al-qaeda. but according to a spokesperson for james clapper, director of national intelligence, that was not the initial statement. in the immediate aftermath. there was information that led us to assess that the attack began spontaneously following protests earlier this day at our embassy in cairo and we provided an assessment to the executive branch officials and members of congress and we emphasize that information gathered was preliminary and evolving. and at some point, it's unclear when, but that assessment changed and the intelligence community determined that it was a deliberate coordinated terror attack. jamie? >> molly henneberg, it's not going away soon. stay on it for us, thanks again. kelly? >> it's not going away at all, jamie, also new insight from voters about the shifting report from the libyan

consulate attack. according to the latest fox news poll. 39% of voters approve of president obama's handling of the situation and 17% say they're not sure. so, how might this impact the race for the white house? angela mcglowan, a political analyst and jehmu green, a fox news contributor and women's media centerment thank you for joining us this afternoon to share your insights and perspective on this situation. in the aftermath of the terrorist attack or the benghazi consulate which took the lives of ambassador chris stevens and three other americans, the american people have wanted to hear a coherent message from the white house, instead, we have received, as we've seen through molly's report, shifting accounts of that fatal attack. so, what impact, and what bearing does this have on the presidential campaign now? jehmu? >> well, i think we have to keep in mind that from the moment that our embassy was attacked, the president and this administration has been focused on securing our

diplomates, securing our facilities and going after the killers for justice. now, looking at any investigation, you're going to get more information as time goes along. and i think that the american people are going to come to understand that, especially as this topic comes up in the foreign policy debate. i, as an american, do not want communications from any president, democrat or a republican, happening in the speed of the twitter verse and we have to be responsible and i think that the administration has been, as they've learned more information, they've updated congress and they have updated the-- >> and angela. >> making a move within 24 hours and five or fix days later our u.n. ambassador told us point blank that it was not pre-meditated that it was spontaneous, so, she sounds for sure. the bottom line is this, everyone in the administration has been lock in step in protecting this president during the election year.

and we know that this president has put politics before policy. and now, people have lost their lives. and jehmu you said the administration is focused on securing our diplomatic places abroad, our diplomatic institutions abroad. what happened on doing that security before 9/11? what happened to that? why are we focused on it now? >> and so many people are asking, as we-- a couple of questions about what was going on on the ground when they knew there was danger in those areas. >> even the ambassador stated it. but i want to ask you something that's important here, because this is a crucial week for the president as well as governor mitt romney. how might this impact the presidential campaign in terms of how it will relate to the first presidential debate? >> i hope that mitt romney stands strong and talks about foreign policy. because two weeks before september 11th, we heard at the dnc, you and i both did together. hey, gm is alive and osama bin laden is dead, that's not

foreign policy so mitt romney has a grand opportunity to raise his poll numbers by putting obama's feet to the fire. >> there's only one candidate who politicized the death of four american heroes, you know, late at night on september 11th and he was really rebuked by many leading republicans for how, you know, just not ready for prime time he was. i think he showed his lack of depth and experience on foreign policy clearly on september 11th, but i think, you know, all of the calls and points to that this is a coverup is-- it's really laughable in a sense. i don't want to, you know, take away from the seriousness of the loss of american life, but you know, my mom always says, i look for love in all the wrong places. republicans and angela, you and your counterparts are looking for a coverup in all the wrong places. >> i have not said one time it's a coverup. i believe that susan rice was a good foot soldier for the administration, but to even look at the fort hood attack,

we said that was work place violence and found out that was connected to al-qaeda and even at times where bomber, we said an isolated incident and found out that was planned and connected to al-qaeda. so, this is actually something that has happened before time and time again and definitely. >> kelly: and both of you-- time out ladies, let me put this question out to both of you. since mr. romney is expected to attack the president on economy, and foreign policy and so far we have not seen what he will do for a second term. so, what do you anticipate the president will have to do, jehmu, in order to get ahead of this foreign policy gap that's going on right now in the wake of the death of four great americans. i don't know, kelly, i disagree with you. we haven't seen from president obama what his next four years would be, we have not seen anything from governor romney on what his business-- his presidency would look like, all he's done is attack the-- >> during the debate. >> what he will do during the debate i think is remind the

american people of his record on counterterrorism, and that is not something that governor romney is going to be able to poke any holes in, and i think he will also remind the american people of when it comes to the economy, that it's the turn around is going to take time. >> oh. >> and you've seen president clinton talk about why it took eight years to get us surpluses and i think it will be finally clear, because, unfortunately. >> jehmu. >> the media has focused only on-- >> let me get the final word to angela. >> president obama has a record and the bottom line, we have anemic economy. people don't have jobs and they're still incleased home foreclosures and mitt romney has talked about what he's going to do to create a more prosperous america. >> most americans don't want most republicans want him to open his mouth. >> you don't know what what's in their minds and hearts, so don't predict. >> kelly: you're listening to angela mcglowan and jehmu green, the campaign in libya, not only policy, but national

security and the economy, all of this put in play a big factor in this week's first debate. thank you, jehmu green and angela mcglowan, we're days away from the first presidential debate and of course, live coverage of the main event hosted by our own megyn kelly and bret baier coming up this wednesday, october 3rd only on the fks news channel. fox news channel. ♪ >> the gloves are coming off in a red-hot congressional race in florida. tea party favorite republican congressman allen west is causing a stir this weekend after unveiling a new attack ad featuring his opponent's mug shot. and this is new and different, peter, tell us. >> reporter: it is, jamie, in eastern florida, the race for congress in the sunshine state's 18th congressional district between the incumbent. republican allen west and the challenger patrick murphy produced what larry sabato,

otherwise, why hasment iaea or anyone else ever said to iran, present to us the number or percentage of nuclear power you are using for peaceful purposes and somehow check to see if the amount of nuclear power they're producing is increasing, which would at least substantiate their claims they're using nuclear power for something else, has that ever been asked? >> not that i'm aware of. fran thought that that would be redundant step sans we've caught them-- or the iaea that would only be steps for a nuclear weapons, not nuclear energy. we've found them with nuclear designs, and plutonium bombs and other steps that have no apcation for nuclear energy. >> jamie: how could you evaluate the extent to which their ambitions have -- where they are basically at this

point and what the true threat is without also having that other component of nuclear energy being provided in other places? because there are sanctions in place for the bad stuff. why don't they defend themselves by giving that information? are we entitled to it or is the u.n.? >> i think we're entitled to it because this is a regime that's extremely dangerous, it is awash in oil, and yet, has this unexplained nuclear program, i mean, if you have access to other sources of energy, really, is this necessary and also, you have throughout this, we've seen a pattern of deception, so, i think it's completely incumbent upon iran to explain and be transparent about what they're doing and of course, they're not doing that in you look back at the intent of this regime since it came to power, one. first steps was taking u.s. diplomates hostage. they've made war on us through proxies in iraq. kidnapped hostages through

proxies like hezbollah in lebanon. really, a dangerous regime. so, the benefit, the onu is on them and not doing a lot to asuede israel and the united nations. >> jamie: great point. i guess on a week where we're talking about transparency and getting information right and telling the american people the truth, i just was curious if our folks in charge of overseeing this concern are asking the right questions. let me ask you about the prime minister and his discussion and in fact, his board and diagram and red line, effective? >> yeah, i don't think so. you know, the problem israel has, i think it's completely understandable from their point of view, but a lot of their messaging sounds very similar to what we heard in the bush administration in 2007, 2008, warnings that iran was about to be at a critical stage of the nuclear program above the '08 election and now

before the 12 election. the big news, the take away from prime minister netanyahu's speech, it moves the critical deadline to spring or summer when he said iran would be able to dark to a nuclear capability without being detected and the previous conventional wisdom that iran-- excuse me that israel was going to strike iran probably before our presidential election, that's out the window, now the new time line is spring or summer so frankly, some of us doubt that it will be the case that netanyahu may have concluded the risks are too high and israel won't strike iran. >> jamie: put in perspective what benjamin netanyahu, the foreign minister actually said that more sanctions are called for. how effective have the sanctions been? is the timing right to put in place more of them to at least delay the need for israel or even the united states to

respond militarily? >> and probably sanctions are, they're just not working. there are other things that are working that have bought a lot of time. there's the sabotage program that's probably being spearheaded by the israelis, but we may be involved as well. and this is caused things like centrifuges, iranian centrifuges that operated at extremely high speeds and precision in manufacture to explode, things like this, which is reported of course in a book by a new york times reporter, with leaked information. the chairman of the intelligence committee diane feinstein in the senate saying she learned more from this book than in briefing from the intelligence community. that's another topic, those things are effective. sanctions less so, our own intelligence community said that these sanctions are not stopping the iranian program. >> jamie: you have to hope in the conversation our president had with benjamin netanyahu, whatever the intelligence that the prime minister has that leads that the bombs are potentially sooner was shared and that we all react

appropriately. it's definitely a threat. christian, always great to have you here, thank you so much. >> thank you, jamie. >> jamie: a lot of news to cover and much more when we come back after a quick break. [ giggling ] [ laughing ] [ laughing ] [ laughing ] [ laughing ] ♪

americans are not spending as much, what concerns about saving more and spending less. >> spending, consumption itself is not inherently a good sign. keep in mind, that was the justification for the stimulus that we spent. we want people spending more, that's gone down the drain. in actuality, consumption is the end of the productive cycle, the wealth is consumed and there's no more of it. we should be looking for any growth in the economy is some signs of production. people making more investments and hiring and that worries me, is that the long-term economic indicator. i'm not a hater. i want positive signs in the economy. unemployment, housing and the gdp remains unbelievably week in spite of the here and there slight up ticks in the economy. >> kelly: you said something key there. that's production. we don't see enough production, in fact don't see enough manufacturing out there. hidden in the report if you drill down more, u.s. personal income and spending data for

august are worse than the headline figures suggest. so, is this slow growth of jobs impacting americans where it matters most in their wallet and in their incomes? >> actually, as we pointed out, not saving and what i really fear, kelly, is that a situation, not similar for the late 1970's, it wasn't a recession, it was was called stagflation, it's got dollars in your wallet to spend, but the dollars are getting you less and less and less and doing so in a still weak economy. so, you know, that's my reason for today's economic climate not one of robust growth and slow growth, but really lethargic growth at best and long-term economic indicators, quite weak. >> and with the slow growth, it hard when we get to this topic again, it heart to get some clarity and certainty out there. given the sharp drop in the american consumers savings, which is hit on american incomes anemic economy, what's

your best advice for americans in terms of how we handle our money? >> well, i think that people need to be extraordinarily prudent and supposed to make people more confident in saving and spending and money in the economy. i'm an investment guy over at capitalist pig and look what investors are doing, keeping their dollars in their pockets. they're hesitant to invest in new stocks, new equipment. put the dollars to work and in my estimation that's what we need to put the economy back on track. a great new regulation from washington d.c., but move it up even higher. >> kelly: my take on what you're saying, it's not exactly grim news, but one that should give us pause? >> yes, i mean, the economy, in my estimation, kelly, it's certainly better off than it was at the depth of the great recession a few years ago, but if you look at any of the economic indicators, again, the housing, the employment,

the gdp tells you where the economy is going are still very much on the map and not soaring up from it. >> kelly: i'm looking forward to those days to come, we want our economy back in order and our house in order. enjoy your day in chicago. >> thank you, kelly, thank you, you, too. >> jamie: it's time, kelly to roll up our sleeves and get our annual flu shot. there are two new strains of influenza, the age group that's best protected and those who should not get the flu shot. very few of you folks out there.

flu and pregnant women can cause pre-term labor and a lot of problems. make sure when you get the vaccines, it takes two weeks to kick in. ones that should not get vaccines, kids younger than six months and if you have severe allergies to eggs, you want to stay away from it and talk to your doctor. >> jamie: a very small group of people that shouldn't. we'll take your advice on that one. >> the best group who got the vaccination, doctors. they got about 86%, and the seniors got about 66%. and the worst group were the adults. only about 50%, so hopefully they're listening to this and their vaccination. >> you may get the flu or flu symptoms, that's not a reason not to get it. >> absolutely. >> jamie: the second topic i think is so important we wanted to touch on. when you take your child to the emergency room now, there are so many new things in place that you probably can get them out faster and get them better faster. tell us about some of the changes that you were even fascinated by some of these? >> yes, the whole room of

emergency room, especially in kids is changing. i don't know if you've ever seen a kid crying, they don't speak and can't present themselves well. and one of the new things, when the doctor writes a prescription, we write them milligrams, there are so many errors to be made and new soft wears, and the system, you basically scan the bar for the medication and spits out exactly what exactly the right dose is almost like an app for medications for kids. >> jamie: what about giving the medication? >> that hasn't changed, but as far as measuring the dose, now, there's less mistake and it's more accurate. >> jamie: i.d.'s for children. >> this was fascinating and i told you, and myself today, when i was doing my residency and training, if someone couldn't take the i visit we used to put central line which goes in the neck. now i learned that in kids they can put this intra osseous, in the bone and stays longer.

and that's new. the fractures that we used to see in kids and now basically using medication such as ketamine to be less admissions and don't need to stay in the hospital longer, and we used to do a lot of cat scans for brain trauma. kids can fall, highest rate of injuries and we used to get cat scans all over the place. >> jamie: are you worried about that? because kids brains are thinner, more susceptible, don't have a lot of time, but should parents trust the doctor on this? >> and for the examination, the e.r. attendings are well trained. if they need a cat scan, but a study says you don't need a cat scan on everyone let them take care of it. the whole world is changing for better and i think it's an exciting time. >> jamie: it is. very important. see you tomorrow for sunday house call. >> look forward to it. >> kelly: that will do it for us, everybody, that you for joining us, i'm kelly wright. >> jamie: i'm jamie colby. the journal editorial report is next, followed by news watch, have a great day watch, have a great day everybody. captioned by closed captioning services, inc.
